Victor Gischler lives in the wilds of Skiatook, Oklahoma—a long, long way from a Starbucks. His wife, Jackie, thinks he is a silly individual. He drinks black, black coffee all day long and sleeps about seven minutes a night.
Aside from his novels, Gischler is perhaps best-known as co-founder and columnist for the popular webzine Plots With Guns, which frequently exhibits the sense of the absurd he brings to his own writing. He's also a master a taking unlikely characters and making them come to life.
Suicide Squeeze: Teddy Folger is bored with his life, so he burns down his comic-book store for the insurance money. The plan: Sail to a distant island where he can drink rum and chase women. But things don't work out quite as Teddy planned...
Connor Samson is repo man extraordinaire, and he's reclaimed Teddy's boat. But Connor doesn't know about the priceless stowaway onboard, an autographed baseball card, signed by Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe. Soon, billionaire collector Ahira Kurisaka and a gang of would-be ninjas are hot on Connor's trail -- and they'll stop at nothing to get what they want. With chaos just a few steps behind him, Connor is going to have to act fast ... or become just another expendable on a bloody path to the ultimate collectible.
Ok, got my copy yesterday. I finished today and I am sorry to say I wasn't impressed. I wasn't drawn into the lives of the characters and I was bit put off by the foul language. That is just a personal thing with me, I don't care to read or use that kind of language.
